C. A. BOARD FOR NEXT
YEAR IS ELECTED
President's Report Declares Aim of
C. A. is to Give Opportunities
for Working Out Religion
POLICY IS MADE MORE DEFINITE
Elections of members to the C. A.
Hoard for next year were held on Tues-
day and Wednesday of last week. \
____Senior members�G. Thomas -and�fir
Mussclman, '26. . *
Junior members�C. Platt and B. Pit-
ney, '27.
Secretary�C. Crosby. '28.
T^-asurer�J. Young. '28.
Before giving over the chair to W.
Dodd, '86, M. Stewardson. '25, the retir-
ing President, read her report.
"In the spring of MSB the Christian
�Association pledge, was changed. The
Association felt that a pledge based on a
definite belief was not suited to the Col-
lege and the present pledge was adopted
which reads, as you know: 'The aim of
the association is to unite its members in
thought and Christian work. Each mem-
ber pledges herself to live after the exam-
ple of Christ as she understands it.'
"When the board was elected last year
it took office not knowing what its policy
should be or how to interpret the pledge.
C. A. was rather vague and undefined as
a result of the changes of the year be-
fore. During last year the policy of the
board was simply to be as broad and in-
clusive as possible. This was obviously
too vague to mean much, and the new
board finally realized that C. A. must
have a definite purpose and a definite
policy.
"During this year the board and cabi-
net have been trying to work out a policy
which would .be both inclusive and defi-
nite. The policy which they adopted was
a simple one. They assume that all'the
association members are interested in
religion in its theoretical and practical as-
pects, but that the majority are not sure
of their own beliefs. Therefore its policy
is to present to its members as many
opportunities as possible for finding "out
and thinking about various aspects of re-
ligion so that they may be more able to
find their own. The board has tried to
work this out .through speakers, discus-
sions, religious services and practical
work. u
"The board feels that it has failed by
not co-ordinating the work of the com-
mittees one with another, and not com-,
ing sooner to a realization of the function
of the association so that they might have
been more consistent, especially with re-
gard to outside speakers. The board feels
that the past two years have been a tran-
sitional period. It feels that it has at last
come to an understanding of the place and
aim of the association and by so com-
pleting and summarizing its work that the
new board can go straight on and build
up concretely.
"While it is impossible for the board to
have any other policy than simply to stim-
ulate interest in all-sides of religion, yet
the association has a spiritual basis, since
the example of Christ as she understands
it.
cannot stand for any definite belief. Each
all very different. But they are united as
a board and with the association by work*
ing in common for an ideal."

C. A. CABINET DISCUSSES
* PAST WORK OF COMMITTEES
Theoretical and Practical Sides of C.
A. Are Not Incompatible
At a meeting of the cabinet of the
Christian Asspciation last Tuesday, the
work and aims and failures of the past
year were thrashed out and discussed.
In times past, some said, the associa-
tion stood for different things. The spir-
itual side was emphasized. Perhaps we
are not mystically inclined.__T. Fugita,
'25. said that C. A. should find some way
of giving people a feeling of quiet, of
sweetness and mutual help. Other mem-
bers felt that it was a beautiful idea, but
that it could not be carried- out sponta-
neously.
M. Stewardson. ':.'.">, President of C. A�
declared that these arguments all come
back to the question of how each person
is to interpret the pledge for herself. She
feels that the connection of social service
with religious thought'is not artificial and
that under C. A. fall the,practical intellec-
tual and the spiritual side of religion.
It was agreed that the aim of the asso-
ciation is to present as many opportunities
as possible to the members for finding out
and thinking, about various aspects of
religion so that'they may be able to find
their own.
Committee chairmen made reports of
the work their committees had done.
Shall the experiment of substituting lec-
tures for Sunday evening chapel be con-
tinued? The greater number of the cabi-
net voted: Yes. Dr. John Haynes
Holmes, famous New York radical, and
Dr. Tyson are the two men who will carry
out the .plan.

DAVIS-DODD MATCH IS CLOSE
The tennis season opened Monday
very auspiciously for 1926. Only three
fiVst-team matches were played off, and in
each case 1926 defeated 1928. \V. Dod.l.
.mi. won against A. Davis, '28, by the
score of 10-8, G-2. F. Jay, '20, overcame
C. Dyer, '28, 6-4, 5-7, 6-3, and E. Mussel-
man, '26, conquered M. Ferguson, '28
6-2. 6-4. *
By far the most interesting of the three
was the Davis-Dodd match. Both played
with sureness, speed and force, placing
the ball with accuracy. Their game was
mostly back-court and both- player's
stroked the balls frequently with great
precision and showed very good form.
The first set was a long, gruelling, hard-
fought battle.
At the start, F. Jay, '26, and C. Dyer,
'88, seemed to be very evenly matched,
too. Their game was also back-court, but
in the end the even, sure playing of F-.
Jay, '26, told on the very strong back-
hand and at times accurate placing by C,
Dyer, '28.
The Mussclman-Ferguson match was
over-cautious with long, easy rallies.

B. Pitney, '27, defeating C. Remak, '25, in
a very spirited game, 4-6. 7-5, 6-1. became
Tuesday afternoon champion of the coIIcrc.
In the first set and the'beginning of the
second. C. Remak, '25, led. Her great reach,
strong serve and infallible steady shots were
too much for I'.. Pitney, who, though her
strokes were pretty, seemed to lack initiative.
Picking up amazingly in the second set, she
threw herself into the match and playing
a fast offensive game, drove her shots home,
placing them even licyond the reach of C.
Remak, "who did not run much for the balls.
II Pitney's fighting energy and determina-
tion to win. added to her swift drive anH
powerful serve, won her the victory.
Minna Lee Jones. '27. defeated E. Boross,
25. in a steady, uninteresting match with
the score of 6-3, 6-2. The game played
consisted of long unvarying shots, landing
each time a few feet from the back line.
M. I.. Jones took the offensive from the
start and drove her shots hard, but Ei Boross
seemed to play more of a pushing game.
There was little placing and practically no
net play.
Playing a pretty game. M. Brown. '25.
defeated M. Hand. '27, 4-6. 6-1. 6-0. In the
beginning the pair seemed fairly evenly
matched, although M. Hand. '27. who played
with very pretty form throughout, was in
thjt lead." In the next two sets her physi-
cal strength seemed to desert her and M.
Brown. '25. won the victory, making her
points sometimes with pretty long drives
and often with clever placing.
